This Chapter discussed conclusions made from data analyzed in Chapter 5 and then made recommendations for future studies. It has been concluded from the findings that MBA students utilize similar selection criteria when they choose retail banks. It has also been deduced that the selection criteria they utilize impact greatly on their lives because of their busy schedule. This demands them to seek simplicity to entangle their busy lives. Selection criteria utilized was also ranked in the order of priority by MBA students. It was concluded, again, that since MBA students from previous studies utilize similar selection criteria for retail banks with MBA students from this study, they, therefore, form a homogenous group.
